Can't you see guys that TG is full of love?

Full of love for his government, the "system" and even his congress, he admires them so much that he might even run for office one day when he grows up.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Unavoidable, unbreakable, unquestionable Law of God...The meek shall inherit the earth.

Notice that God himself does not state that it shall be the strong who inherit the earth ,nor the wise, nor the wise-ass, nor the educated who thinks he has "knowledge", nor the ignorant "suffering from the lack thereof", nor the master (nor the "slave"), nor the wealthy, nor the beautiful, nor the pious, nor the "fearless", nor the rightious...but the meek.

Kinda sad isn't it? That all our brave battles with the world get us absolutely nowhere , huh?

His kingdom isn't waiting for us to have "liberty" before it is established here on earth...it is just waiting for you.

You may as well ask me "What is your definition of truth?"

How can truth be shown to someone who has eyes but cannot see, or explained to one who has ears, but who will not listen?

Boy you sure like avoiding direct answers to questions don't you. Many people do not define meek correctly and that is why I asked you what your definition is. If you do not want to answer that is fine with me. I am just trying to understand exactly where you are coming from. The truth I have comes from my heavenly Father, where does yours come from?

Was it the meek or the warrior who defeated the British at Yorktown?

Just curious. The meek,I think,sat it out with

the folks who prefered tea!

The meek didn't inherit anything.... they sat on

their duffs,while the Men went out and won a

Republic!

The Beatitudes

This is exactly why I said there are people that do not understand what meek means as shown by the above replies.

Matt 5:3 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." This is a tough one - one might define "meek" as weak, spineless. If that were true, then inheriting the earth seems a daunting responsibility. Fortunately, that's not the case!

To be meek is to be humble. Restraining one's anger; being in control of one's self or power under control. Leading a life of discipline enables one to lead others. It is also recognizing our dependence on YHWH to be in control. There are a lot of people that define meek as being weak. Numbers 12:3 describes Moses as meek (humble) but he was certainly not weak. He humbled himself before YHWH.

I remember

Now I remember, I read some where that the meaning of meek was to obey God.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
